I would struggle to get down to 13 on LPG unless I was doing "delivering Yellow Pages" urban driving, and that's a 3.2 not a 2.5.  :o

I don't think I could readily get an average that low even delivering :o :o :o

I'm not exactly heavy footed but I don't hang about either ::) ::)

So .. its a "cheep" car ... could I live with the noise ?

and the headlight has "condisation" .. whatever that is ... perhaps thats why as a CDX it is "top of the range"

and I can't be bothered to go through the other spelling mistakes  ....

these sort of points always make me wonder ... if they can't be bothered to make the advert actually correct and readable .. then just what sort of state is the car in  ???

 :( :( :(

I notice lots of spelling mistakes on this forum. Why is this?.

I always take the time to check that I have not made a spelling mistake before I post. :-* :-* :-*

Please please don't take offense but it might possibly be worth going through the listing and adding in all the 'oh sorry i forgot this' items into the main part of the listing because they could make the seller look like they don't have the foggiest or fairly careless (same with spelling mistakes and the V thing after the radiator).  Giving a prospective buyer this impression can affect the price/number of bids quite a bit.  If I see spelling mistakes I do tend to think, ok, maybe this is someone who has problems with writing and spelling (and Dusty, spell checks are of limited use for someone with dylexia etc) but this auction kindof looks careless because of the number of different types of errors!

Obviously its your choice and i hope you don't take offense.  I tend to get Jue to check listings I have made because he knows the cars a lot better than I do and I can and do make mistakes lol.  As far as I am concerned getting a listing as clear and error free as possible is worth doing if it increases the selling price of the auction.

As I was the one who made the original "spelling" comment .. this is exactly my point ... it is about instilling confidence in the buyer . and an advert full of errors, of any sort, does not instill confidence.

I know some folks have trouble spelling, others have trouble reading computor screens, some struggle with both.. I have a friend with the latter problem who is very successful on fleabay... If I had a £1 for every advert I have "proof read" for him I wouldn't have to work ....  :)
